Do people snore if they are unconscious?

Certainly can: If the airway partially obstructs/impairs air flow, then you can snore. Has nothing to do with your level of consciousness.

It depends on cause: It depends on why they are unconscious. If the person is prone to snoring, then any cause of unconsciousness will tend to let them snore. If under anesthesia, we have maneuvers and devices to prevent snoring.
